SILENCE

As a "Newbie", I wanted to try submiting a review. Since this is the newest album I have gotten, I'll start here. First of all, I must say I really like this album. It is a pinnacle of progressive rock?, well NO. It is, however, very good. The band doe a great job of writing catching and accessible tunes, but with very excellent musianship. (Please excuse the spelling, not one of my best attributes!!). It reminds me of a lot of the later 70's style of prog that was stll good but post the true spirit of the early prog albums. I enjoy the harmonies in the vocal department as well as the positive vibe to the music. A lot of progressive music is "depressing" in the extent that it is based on a minor key and often is "woe is me": (don't get me wrong, I relate to that "pessimistic' view and to the emotional sorow often portrayed); however A.C.T.'s music is very "happy", for lack of a better term. I would rate this between a 3 and a 4 due to the fact that it's new and has not had a chance to fufill the "Test of Time." Very enjoyable album!!!!!
